    Global Track Central - a community based track database

    It's against Microsoft ToS to copy info to or from a MU/HDD or USB device formatted for Xbox 360 storage. The only programs that let you do this are, I believe, violating copyright laws by reverse engineering MS code to allow a PC read/write access.

    If you are caught doing so, then your Xbox 360 and/or XBL account may be forfeit by way of console bans or permanent account bans.

    Other than that, sounds good. For some reason the screens aren't showing for me.

    Thanks for clearing that up. I consider myself to be warned
    Sorry about the screens, I hosted them on dropbox.

    I'll make some new ones and host them elsewhere when I get the new logo from Shady
    Meanwhile you could also check it out live using the link below!


    edit: i've done a few updates again. updates, updates, updates.

    You can now link directly to a track creator:

    Hi all -


    I have updated the screenshots to show off a few new features. On of the things I focussed on today was the ability to submit player times for a track. If you have set a time that you would like the world to see, submit it. You will see that the points given for that track will be automatically calculated using the Ultimate, Platinum, Gold, Silver -times and the score coefficient. I have not been able to verify the output numbers so if you have a way to check, please do.

    I envision this to be handy for those organizing custom competitions. What do you think?

    Global Track Central - a community based track database

    Drat. I use my phone to access the forums and social media, and iPhone doesn't play well with Flash or Silverlight.

    While you still have this at an early stage, can I suggest you use a different rating system than Track Central? I don't really care if it is out of 5 or 10 stars, but this seems like a perfect chance to implement a good rating system. You'd need more input as to what areas to rate, but just a simple example would be to rate a trials track on driveline, visuals, cleanliness (lack of glitches/lag), fun factor, and recommendablility. Those are just rough examples, but if you could have multiple areas to rate a track on, you will get a better idea of the track quality. Also, as a creator more specific ratings would be a nice way to get feedback too.

    Can't really comment on the points for a track idea, but being able to input user times is a nice add. How many player times can be recorded on one track? would be cool if you could have more than the 100 limit on TC.

    Any takers?

    I can help with the programming, but not touching IOS. I'll consider making a browser friendly version, given that it actually has a user base. I'll loose a lot of functionality though, I chose silva light for a reason.

    Who here loves this web page but doesn't have or use a PC with Silverlight???

    Ps: I could port this to WindowsPhone easily since that also uses Silverlight, but I guess the majority wouldn't benefit from that.
